Cold episode 9

Cold episode 9
The early morning sun filtered into the room through the little space left by the curtains, the rays hit Kingsley directly in the eyes and he turned on the bed backing the incoming rays, just as he was struggling to go back to sleep, his phone’s alarm beeped loudly into his ear, he jumped up from his position and threw the phone across the room.
“Heck, can’t a bloke get some sleep?” he muttered and dragged himself off the bed. His head banged and he felt heavy. He strolled across the room kicking things about and dragging his feet on the rug, making his way for the toilet which was attached to his one room apartment, he stopped all of a sudden, he could hear noises coming from the toilet.
He couldn’t remember having any visitors and his door was still locked. He took a look around and picked a .45 from his drawer and slowly advanced towards the toilet with the gun in the air. The door opened and pretty blond girl came out of it wrapped in a towel.
 
“Jesus, king, what’s up with the gun?” she said as she stood with shock inscribed all over her staring at Kingsley
“Oh, Viv, I forgot i had company” he said and dropped the gun on top of the drawer.
“You scared the hell out of me” she said and went over to him, she put her arms around his shoulders and plucked his l-ips with hers. Kingsley grabbed and squeezed her butt as they k-ssed.
Kingsley was a 29 year old tall and dark guy. He stood at 5’9 and was well built with broad shoulders and huge biceps. He doubled as a driver and body guard for Frederick Jones. He lived in an apartment rented for him by his boss, a place close enough for him to get to him in time should he need his services.
He usually took the weekend off from his work and resumed back early on Mondays. This particular weekend, he had gone down to a night club on Friday evening to shake off the stress. That was where he met Vivian or whatever she told him her name was.
 
She had sat all alone and refused advances from many male predators. She was particularly easy to notice because of the beauty she possessed and her demeanor.
 
Kingsley had fallen in love with her at first sight and so much wanted to go meet up with her. He noticed she stole glances at him from time to time and this elated him. At a time, he couldn’t control his urge any more, he made his advance.
 
Getting to know her wasn’t easy but she opened up to him more that she did to the other guys. Soon they were chatting away like old time friends. They had both colonized the dance floor and wowed everyone around.
 
Vivian was really good and Kingsley was in love already. They left the club around 1 am in Kingsley’s car, a Toyota Suv Frederick had given him to make his running around easier. They got home and drank themselves to bed where Vivian rocked his world like no other girl ever had. It was the heavy drink and the midnight s€× that had so much weighed him down that morning.
 
“Go and freshen up” Vivian said disengaging herself from his grip. He k-ssed her one more time and went into the bathroom. He was done in 20 minutes and came out to meet Vivian on the bed typing away on her phone.
He eyed her s€×y body for some seconds before walking up to her on the bed. She flipped her phone away and pulled him down on her, slowly she spread her legs and he went into her. They made love for a long period of 15 minutes before Kingsley reached his peak. He k-ssed her passionately and fell flat on the bed. For some seconds, they were silent and just stared up at the ceiling.
 
“Do you love me?” he asked her
“I don’t know”
“But I love you” he said turning to look at her.
“Come and drop me off ” she said car-ssing his bare chest.
“Vivian will you be my girl?” he asked parting strands of hair that had covered a part of her eyes, revealing her beautifully curved face.
“I will answer that when we see again” she replied and got up from the bed. Kingsley watched in awe as she fitted her curvy body into a short, th-gh revealing gown.
“What are you looking at?” she asked as she turned and caught him staring.
“The first wonder of the world” he said
“Really?” she asked with a smile on her pretty face.
“Yea, others are fake” he said and she laughed.
“Come and drop me off please” she said pulling him off the bed. He dressed up and they both walked hand in hand to the car.
“So how will I be seeing you again? ” he asked her as they hit the road.
“If i like you, you will see me again”
“So do you like me?” he asked looking at her.
“I wouldn’t let you touch me if I didn’t, now keep your eyes on the road”.
They rode for about 10 minutes and she asked him to pull over by the side of the highway.
“This is where I will be dropping” she said and opened the door.
“Here?” he asked looking at her and she nodded.
“But here is like the middle of nowhere, no house or whatever”
“I know but I’m still dropping here”
“So where do you live around here?”
“Why don’t you come down and see” she said getting down from the car and shutting the door behind her. Kingsley got down and shut his door too. He walked over to Vivian and stood facing her.
“So?” he asked
“There” she replied and nodded towards him. He turned his back and from across the road, Joseph approached with Lugo, Jaycee and three under guys.
 
Kingsley stared at them as they approached from the other side of the road, he moped on in the clear realization that he may have been scammed, his meeting with Vivian, the love she seemed to have promised him, he was angry that all might have been a hoarse.
They walked up to where they stood and Joseph walked right to where he was and stood facing him with a Kind of dreadful look in his eyes, one that sent fear down Kingsley’s spine. Jaycee walked straight to the girl and gave her a hug, Kingsley stared at the both of them with a look that begged for explanation.
 
“Vivian?” Kingsley asked rather than called.
“Vivian?” Jaycee repeated with a scoff sharing a look between Kingsley and her, she giggled and shrugged.
“I have always loved the name” she said and held onto Jaycee and for the first time Joseph spoke.
“Thanks Nancy, you did good” he said giving her a look and directing his gaze back at Kingsley who stood fidgeting his fingers.
“So do you know who i am?” he asked raising his eyes to meet up with Kingsley’s eyes.
“No” he answered trying not to appear cowered.
“I’m Joseph Donati, you must have heard about me” Joseph said and Kingsley gave him a startled look and went back to his initial demeanor.
“Yes, I have”. He replied trying not to sound tensed but the look on his face when he heard Joseph Donati had given him away.
“Good, your sweetheart here ” he said pointing at Nancy with his gun “she is Nancy and not Vivian or whatever name she had told you”.
“I see” he said biting his l-ips and cupping his fingers into a fist, within him, he felt so stupid and so used, he could kill her at the slightest Chance he had but that was going to be another time, he was surrounded by gun wielding thugs and any miscalculated move by him could earn him a quick passage to the after life.
“So, I’m not used to talking much, I just need your car key and we are cool” Joseph said stretching out his arm.
“If the car was all you wanted, why not just ask for it, why all the stress and set up?” he asked trying to be bold.
“Well, i didn’t think you will just hand it over if i had come over to your house and asked politely, so you can just give it to me so our little party can be done with and everyone will be on his way”
“Just so you know, Frederick is going to kill you for this ” he said handing the key over to him, he gave Nancy a cold stare.
“Not if I kill him first”
“Funny, you think you can kill Frederick?” he asked with a smug on his face.
“I don’t think about things, I am Joseph Donati, I just do them”.
“And what are you going to do to me now?” he asked with fear in his eyes.
“I’m going to kill you ” he replied with a smile at the corner of his mouth and before Kingsley could think about it, he had moved back and shot him three times In the stomach, he fell on on the car and slowly, he dropped to the ground like a pack of clothes sliding against the body of the car. He turned to Jaycee who was holding Nancy.
“Go home and stay with Maria and August”. Jaycee gave him a hærd look and shook his head.
“No, I’m coming with you”
“And Nancy? Who will take her home?” he said and Jaycee stared at him in defeated silence.
“Yea, you never thought of that, go home with her, stay with Maria, she needs you” he said with a tone of finality and went into the car, Lugo and the other three followed him.
Jaycee stood with Nancy and watched as they turned around and drove in the direction of Georgian at great speed. He put his hand around Nancy’s shoulder and she put hers round his wa-ist and they started strolling leisurely in the opposite direction.
“So did he f-ck you?” he asked and she nodded with a naughty smile on her face.
“Was he good?” he asked and she nodded again.
“Better than me?”. She nodded and giggled.
“Are you jealous?” she asked looking at him.
“Why should i be? He’s dead and I’m alive”
“Don’t get jealous, he couldn’t make me c-m” she said pecking him on the cheek.
“So I’m still king?” he asked with a broad smile on his face.
“Yea, you are the O.G” she said and smiled at him. He lifted her off the ground and k-ssed her on the l-ips.
